Is the chain anywhere near needing replacing (any stiff links)? Usually you wouldn’t change the sprocket until the chain needs to be replaced.
I think I have read in the past that you should always do them both because as the chain stretches the sprocket tends to wear to match the stretch, but I have reused sprockets without any problems.
Anyways it looks fine to me.
Well that would be the description of the community, but the actual rules section doesn’t say anything about privacy/control.
So at the end of the day Plex is self hosted (you run most of it) so it should qualify. It might not 100% match the spirit of self hosting it does still meet the definition.
You can argue most Jellyfin/emby installs have the same problem because most users are still are dependent on external services because of things like metadata plugins.
And on the privacy front those plugins aren’t any better than Plex. For instance The Movie DB which is the primary movie and TV metadata provider for Jellyfin has a privacy policy that clearly says they will use and share any interaction you have with the site including location and personal information. They almost certainly keep track of what is in your library. They don’t have a user account for you that they can use to track across IPs, but if your ISP keeps you on the same IP for long periods of time they have a good idea of what you are watching.
You can run Jellyfin without those plugins enabled but unless you want to build/collect manual nfo files to import that data you are going to have a subpar experience.
Same problem for the **arr stack since they need metadata as well. Some of which go to different providers so you are giving out that information to additional parties (i.e. Sonarr goes to TheTVDB which has a similar privacy policy).
You can configure the arrs to write out nfo metadata and have Jellyfin consume that so that at least you aren’t giving away your info to two external parties.
Well they did try to schedule delivery and apparently UPS wouldn’t let them do that, but yeah certainly not anything to do with Valve.
If this were pre-covid UPS likely wouldn’t have left a note and reattempted delivery the next day. But all of the shippers took the COVID no-contact rules to mean that they could just leave packages at the door, snap a pic, and be done with it. Saves them a huge amount on redelivery attempts, and they get to pass the blame on to their customers for not being there.
UPS asking you to open a case with Valve is normal. You didn’t pay to ship it, Valve did. Even if it is a line item on your invoice it was a contract between Valve and UPS, so you can’t call up UPS demanding investigation/money because it is Valve that gets the money not you (who in turn refunds it to you).
If Valve gives you the money back they are likely taking a loss on it to keep you happy. As far as UPS is concerned they delivered it (presumably with photographic evidence), so why would they pay up on insurance. Unless Valve pays for the higher level of insurance UPS won’t cover for porch pirates.
It is unlikely that Valve paid to have that level of coverage, but that is because they know only a small number of packages will be stolen. It ends up being cheaper to just give a few refunds than it is to pay for the higher level coverage on thousands of packages.
Hopefully that is the case on how Valve handles this and you get a replacement or at least your money back. Good luck!
Deep packet inspection.
They are bypassing firewalls that use DPI to filter which sites you are allowed to access.
Possible, especially because there are many different scores, I.e. I believe a car dealers often use a different score than say mortgage underwiters.
But I haven’t had a installment loan of any kind on my credit report for several years and my “average age of accounts” is still reported as excellent. Some revolving accounts in there, but my understanding was that closed accounts don’t leave your report for several years, and continue to count for your average age metric.
There is usually a small penalty for not having “enough types of credit” (if you are like me and don’t have any installment loans), but the reporting sites seem to say that it doesn’t affect the score much, and it took quite a while before they started reporting that as a problem.
Exactly this.
People think they are getting punished, like the bank doesn’t want you to take out another loan. The reality is that it is just an algorithm that sees major events like that and realizes that sometimes paying off a loan and immediately getting a new loan makes you more of a risk not less of one.
The score is a snapshot on a single day of how the algorithm thinks you could handle more credit than you currently have (it is used to apply for new credit), and if you paid off a loan and proceeded to walk into the bank days later to get right back into debt that is clearly/statistically a red flag.
The problem is people see the score like their current value as a person, but the score was designed for loan applications not for you to monitor month to month.
It’s not the bank trying to punish you it is just an algorithm that frankly has very limited data (no concept of assets, only sees statement balances, usually doesn’t include utilities/rent and many other bills) on your actual capability to pay off a loan.
Enterprise agreements using Copilot have “your data doesn’t leave our cloud, and we won’t train on your data” clauses. Even if you are just a M365 customer using the free tier of copilot you have enterprise data protection.
If you don’t believe them on that clause they were probably already storing that data on one of the cloud providers anyways, so Microsoft would have already had full access to that data right at the database instead of some snippets of prompted context.
Here is a teardown of a similar one. The eyes light up and blink. https://youtube.com/watch?v=eAF4R2n9CJA
Did you check memory usage at the same time? Install would certainly be IO intensive but probably shouldn’t max out a decent nvme drive.
If you ran out of ram due to the games installer and you started swapping that could quickly max out IO and DEs tend to stall quickly when the system is short on ram which also matches your symptoms.
HOA fines haven’t shown up in the mail yet to those two houses for daring to park in their driveway.
Btrfs raid5/6 support is unstable/experimental and cause some serious issues in the past, so it isn’t really recommended.
Since you only have 4 drives you could do a pair of mirrors with btrfs, but you aren’t guaranteed to be able to handle two drives failing (depends on which two drives fail). So zfs with raidz2 is the best protection you can get, and it matches the capacity you would get from mirrors.
Rebuild time isn’t great, but you would need a second drive to fail plus at least a read failure on another drive before you have issues.
A bigger question would be how soon would you have a replacement? If you already have a spare on hand I wouldn’t worry about rebuild time at all, but if you are expecting to wait potentially weeks for a warranty replacement your chances of the second failure go up.
Even if you had a second failure and additional read failure is unlikely (how often do you see read failures when you run a scrub). Combine that with your backups… You should have very little to worry about.
If two drives failed and you ran into a couple of sectors that can’t be read ZFS continues to operate just fine, except for the failed file. The file with the failed blocks shows up in zpool status so you know exactly where the corruption is, and you can just copy that single file from your backups and everything is back to normal.
If your files are mostly WORM files like media/documents then your backups cover you really well and copying a file or two from backups isn’t a concern. Vs if you are running virtual machines or DBs that are writing to their virtual disk constantly then you would start to worry about how much data you lose by rolling that file back to your past backup.
